A lifting bridge whose two triangular leaves rise like sails, carrying the road between Poole town centre and Hamworthy.
The Twin Sails Bridge carries the road between Poole town centre and Hamworthy, and lifts in two triangular leaves that give it its name.

Free, and better entertainment than it sounds. See Poole Quay.
